Google Stops posting ‘revenge porn’ Images

Google will remove “revenge porn” images from its search results, the company announced, in an attempt to stanch the supply of naked photos shared on the Internet without the subject’s consent.

“Revenge porn images are intensely personal and emotionally damaging, and serve only to degrade the victims–predominantly women,” Google said in blog post Friday. “So going forward, we’ll honor requests from people to remove nude or sexually explicit images shared without their consent from Google Search results.”

Google said it will make available a Web form through which people can request the removal of such images.
